I'll never understand the need that some people have to be in the public eye.

I think there are some people who enjoy their '15 min of fame' thinking it will make them feel better about themselves

I remember that really well. And also when the boy spilled the beans during an interview on a talk show where he said they were doing it for a show.

I remember when the boy puked on live TV (out of nervousness). Shame on you, Richard Heene.

Blah that kid could puke on cue. They were all a bunch of con artists. Tried to market a piece of wood you nail to the corner in a wall so you can scratch your back. Called it the Bear Scratch.
